Title: A Really Nice .50 Pedersoli "Dixie Cub" **SOLD** (Ya missed a good'un!)
Post by: Semisane on October 12, 2010
I bought this fine little .50 caliber last month as part of a package deal that included a .32 caliber I really wanted (needed?). My plans were to sell it immediately. But it was so nice I've had a hard time pulling the trigger. Now it's got to go to finance another project.

It weighs in at an easy carrying 6 & 1/2 pounds. Total length is 44 inches, with a 28" barrel. You can walk all day with this one.

The length of pull is 13 & 1/4", perfect for a small framed person or heavy winter clothes.

The pictures tell you everything else you need to know except the price, which is $425 shipped to your door.

The stock is blemish free except for one spot. The previous owner evidently tapped in the barrel pins in one spot with a hammer. I got as good of a close-up of that area as I could.

The bore is pristine and so shiny it was hard to get a really good picture. So I took one with a white light and one with a green light. Those "spots" you see in the picture are not pits, and not visible to the naked eye (probably dust).

How does it shoot?  

Here's a report on my one and only range session with it.

OK, OK.  I'll reduce it a little.  How about $397.99 shipped to your door.   [hmm]
